This is my first Pikmin game and it didn't disappoint. The game length is quite short, but each level requires multiple playthroughs. If you want to unlock everything in Pikmin 3 you're supposed to replay each mission with all of the new abilities you've unlocked throughout the game. It's essentially an RTS done the Nintendo way with its own mechanics and charm. The controls are a bit awkward at first and take some getting used to, but they work for what they are. The art style and graphics are really beautiful and at times soothing and tranquil. The characters are quirky and even made me chuckle a few times.Pikmin has that classic Nintendo approach where it's easy to learn but can take an enormous amount of time to master and has lots of subtleties in its mechanics for you to learn and get the hang of. I do have a couple of gripes with Pikmin 3 and that is the short length of the story and the final mission which comes quite suddenly and can be very frustrating. Overall I really enjoyed my time with this title and can't wait for the sequel.
